Brief Description:  Finished match drilling aft fuse, disassembled it.

Today I finished match drilling the aft fuselage and then pulled it all apart. I noticed that the aft tail cone skin wasn't quite aligned causing some of the holes to be elongated. I need to order a new F-779 from Van's. I had a hunch when I was drilling yesterday, should have taken my time and checked it out more. This is a thick skin and helps carry the load of the tail wheel so it needs to be right.

Started deburring and got the J-stringers done and started on the aft bottom skin.
